In connection with a statement ■sometimes made that genuises are rarely first-born children, an extract from the Providence Journal sets forth the contrary view: “They were discussing the law of entail — the English law bequeathing the hulk of the family property to the eldest son. ‘There is 50 per cent of logic in that law.’ said a physician, ‘and if the family property went to the first-born, whether son or daughter, the law would contain 100 per ■cent of logic. For the first-born ■child is practically always the best—best in brain, in build, in beauty, in everything. Why is this so? It is so because married people love one another more profoundly at the beginning than afterwards; for love, like all things, grows old, grows weak, often ;dies. Mrs Oraigie— John 01iver“Hobbes—was a first-born •child. So was Marie Corelli. So was Richard Mansfield. So were Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Kitchener, Max Muller, Henry Irving, George Meredith. Look back into the past and we will see again the pre-eminence of the first-born, among them Mohammed, Confucius, Raphael, Milton, Dante, Goethe, Byron, Shelley, and Heine.’” RELIEF WORK. The story of Dr. Sheldon’s Digestive Tabules can he told in a word. They actually do the work that the weak and wasted stomach is unable to do, and allow it to recuperate and regain its strength. They contain all the essential properties that the gastric juice and other digestive fluids do, and they digest the food just as a sound and well stomach would. They relieve the stomach just as . one rested and refreshed Workman relieves the one on duty that is tired and worn, and nature floes her own work of restoration. R is a simple natural process that a child can understand. You can eat all you want without fear of results. Rr. Sheldon’s Digestive Tabules are sold at 2s 6d per tin of 80 Tabules.
